Jana Ogg, BACP

Jana Ogg helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She introduces a calm, person-focused way of working that aims to make conversations feel manageable. Jana is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience in therapeutic work in the United Kingdom.

She uses a person-centred style, which means sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Jana listens without judgement and follows the pace the client sets. She aims to make the room feel like a place to talk honestly about hard things.

Jana has supported people with loss and grieving, including those who have experienced the death of a child and pregnancy-related grief. She has also worked with issues around confidence, self-worth, depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, sexuality, gender, disability, homelessness and relationship breakdown.

In practical terms, sessions are shaped around the client's needs. Jana offers sensitive, respectful care and adapts conversations to each person's situation. She repeats and reflects what she hears to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Jana aims to provide steady support while people notice changes at their own pace. If someone is looking for a calm listener who helps them think things through, Jana may be a helpful companion on that journey.

How Jana’s approaches work in online therapy

Jana uses person-centred principles, which focus on listening and following the client's pace. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding and make choices about next steps. It suits concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship struggles.

She also brings experience supporting people through grief and loss, including pregnancy-related bereavement and the loss of a child. In sessions she offers space to name painful emotions and to gradually find ways of coping and adapting to change.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Jana will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust her approach to match a client's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for people who prefer writing, need flexibility around work, or want ongoing brief contact between sessions.
